Renal epoxyeicosatrienoic acid synthesis during pregnancy [PDF]
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which belong to cytochrome P-450 (CYP)-derived eicosanoids, have been implicated to vasodilate renal arterioles, inhibit sodium transport in the nephron, and regulate blood pressure in several animal models. Because pregnancy is associated with changes of blood pressure, the aim of this study was to examine whether ...

14,15-Epoxyeicosatrienoic acid inhibits platelet aggregation in mouse cerebral arterioles.
Epoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid are produced by several tissues and have been shown to inhibit in vitro platelet aggregation. The purpose of the present investigation was to determine whether 14,15- or 8,9-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid ...

Human CYP4F3s are the main catalysts in the oxidation of fatty acid epoxides
CYP4F isoforms are involved in the oxidation of important cellular mediators such as leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and prostaglandins. The proinflammatory agent LTB4 and cytotoxic leukotoxins have been associated with several inflammatory diseases.

Effect of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids on growth hormone release from somatotrophs
Growth hormone secretion was stimulated in vitro by products of arachidonic acid epoxygenase, the epoxyeicosatrienoic acids. 5,6-Epoxyeicosatrienoic and 14,15-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid stimulated growth hormone release from an enriched population of ...

A “linchpin” coupling strategy is described for the construction of long-chain fatty acid metabolites. This strategy led to a short synthesis of the ethyl esters of both 11,12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) and 11S,12S-dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acid (DHET)

Epoxide hydrolases are a small superfamily of enzymes important for the detoxification of chemically reactive xenobiotic epoxides and for the processing of endogenous epoxides that act as signaling molecules.

Metabolome Diversity Enhances Resistance of Intertidal Clams to Thermal Stress
Meretrix species are widely distributed intertidal bivalves in China with significant ecological and economic importance, which are sensitive to thermal stress. Our results showed that thermal environments of clam habitats shaped metabolome diversity, which can enhance the resistance of intertidal clams to thermal stress.

EPHX2 Loss Promotes CRC Migration via EET‐Dependent Chemokine Elevation and Mitochondrial Defect
Loss of EPHX2 promotes EET accumulation, which in turn enhances CXCL and ROS production, thereby promoting the migratory and invasive abilities of CRC cells. ABSTRACT Epoxide hydrolase 2 (EPHX2) is a key enzyme in fatty acid metabolism that metabolizes epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), lipid mediators involved in inflammation, angiogenesis, and ...
